About Me
For the past ten years I’ve been leading my family business, Arnaoon Village, a hilltop hospitality destination in Lebanon, designing and producing large-scale weddings, private events and immersive dining moments.
Weddings and I go back a long way. I started coordinating weddings at our family business at sixteen; at eighteen I was trusted to run the whole department.
Alongside university I managed Arnaoon’s wedding venue, and then began designing and planning weddings of my own there.
Weddings are a series of small forevers.
The venue I managed
A destination wedding venue with several locations and settings across one property, managed hand in hand with its accommodation.

Mood
Table design
Every set starts as a render, light, scale and flow resolved before the first table goes in. Then it is built, piece by piece, to match.

Reality
Atmosphere
A ceremony beneath a hanging garden of greenery and candles, flowing into dinner across the old stone terraces.
